Suspecting roaming profiles, I created a local user, logged on as that user and registered my fingers. However every time I go to add a new website in DigitalPersona, it seems to take the information but does not actually save it to the machine. Windows7 decides that it can’t load my profile and uses the temporary saved copy – all well and good for now, my desktop background, images, shortcuts etc all exist. After receiving the laptop last night I synched (or so I thought) to the domain, took the machine home and logged in. My problem was to do with our roaming profile. DigitalPersona offer no support for the product and refer you to the OEM partner, in my case Dell, who have nothing in their knowledge base about this product either.

At first glance, this looks like a useful piece of software but after trying to use it, I’ve found it very buggy and the support is non-existant. The new laptop has a fingerprint reader included and comes with DigitalPersona’s fingerprint software. Interestingly I wasn’t prompted until I restarted the browser – so as usual – always restart browsers once you’ve finished with them.
Digitalpersona extension for firefox update#
Update After signing out AND restarting firefox I was prompted for the 2nd factor password. I’ve not reported this to Google yet but it will be interesting to see what they say. I then clicked the gmail tab at the top of the reader – and hey presto I’m into gmail.īottom line – don’t think that just because you have enabled 2nd factor authentication you are safe from keyloggers on a pc or network sniffing/man in the middle attacks. However, today I logged into google reader first (which doesn’t support 2nd factor authentication) and used my username and password only.
I like to use the application on my cell phone to ensure that only I have access to my account – and if somehow a keylogger was in place, my password to gmail is not any use as the 2nd factor authentication would also require access to my cell phone. Update – Never mind – see bottom of article.ĭiscovered an interesting flaw in the requirement for two factor authentication with gmail today.
